Using the generalized method of moments, the analysis showed that green growth and the digital economy have driven the renewable energy transition in a sustainable development framework. Foreign direct investment was found to have negatively moderated the relationships between green growth and the SDG7 indicators, and between the digital economy and the SDG7 indicators. The results remained consistent in signs when alternative variable proxies and estimators were applied. Heterogeneity analysis indicated that green growth and the digital economy affected SDG7 positively across different income groups and regions. These results suggest that policymakers should focus on green growth and digitalization while considering the role of foreign direct investment inflows.</p>","PeriodicalId":51603,"journal":{"name":"China & World Economy","volume":"34 1","pages":"173-197"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146007772","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study combined a multiregional computable general equilibrium model with the energy–economy–environment–sustainability–strategy–stability (3E3S) method to assess the effects of policy scenarios involving carbon taxes and emissions trading schemes on provincial economies, the environment, carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, urban–rural income gap, the construction industry, and 3E3S subsystems. The results show that both the impacts of carbon tax and emissions trading schemes on provincial GDP are negative. As tax rates rise, carbon intensity in the cement industry decreases, boosting CCS technology adoption, especially in provinces where cement production is concentrated. These policies also intensify the urban–rural income gap, although tax rebates can partially offset their negative effects, and influence the construction industry through the supply chain. Variations in economic levels, technological development, and urban–rural income gap among provinces significantly influence the coordinated development of the 3E3S subsystems.</p>","PeriodicalId":51603,"journal":{"name":"China & World Economy","volume":"34 1","pages":"256-288"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146016275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lagged one-period temperature had a significant positive effect on current-month price changes. The cumulative estimates indicated that each 1 °C increase during the sample period was associated with a 0.057 percent rise in prices, implying that temperature shocks contributed to consumer price inflation. Mechanism tests showed that higher temperatures reduced output growth and raised production costs, and that greater economic policy uncertainty amplified these effects. When different temperature bins were used as explanatory variables, prices increased linearly with temperatures up to 25–30 °C, then declined at higher temperatures. Temperature effects were stronger in poorer or cooler regions.

This overlooks key interactions, especially regarding existing subsidies for traditional R&amp;D sectors, common in developing countries focused on growth. This paper introduces a variety-expansion endogenous growth model featuring endogenous labor supply and stochastic components. It analyzes how labor supply endogeneity and the level of existing brown sector support influence the optimal mix of green R&amp;D subsidies and carbon taxation, deriving closed-form solutions: when labor supply is endogenous, the relationship between the optimal carbon tax and green R&amp;D subsidies can be complementary or substitutive, depending on the level of labor disutility. It also investigates how the optimal climate policy mix should change when a social planner emphasizes a faster green transition. The model is calibrated using data from China, and numerical results validate the paper's theoretical insights.</p>","PeriodicalId":51603,"journal":{"name":"China & World Economy","volume":"34 1","pages":"3-40"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146007768","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using firm-level panel data for Zhejiang province from 2001 to 2013, it employed a difference-in-differences approach to assess the causal impact of decentralization at the town level on firm pollution emissions. The results indicated that this form of decentralization led to a significant 19.1 percent increase in firm-level pollution, primarily driven by intensified economic competition and tax competition, expanded firms' output, and declined energy efficiency. These findings highlight the complex relationship between administrative decentralization and environmental governance, underscoring the potential unintended consequences of granting more autonomy to lower-level governments.

The results indicated that temperature changes in firms' headquarter cities and in trade partners were significantly and negatively associated with the scale of imports and exports. Firms' operational capabilities in home country and meteorological disasters in trade partners were key channels through which temperature variation affected trade outcomes.

The study further examined the role of macro-prudential policies in mitigating risks arising from accommodative monetary policy and confirmed the effectiveness of regulation targeting the lending supply side.
